Does Don't Sleep change the power saving options on the system?

Don't Sleep only prevents and blocks the options you select!

  My question is not there in the FAQ
Asked questions on this answer:
  1. 1. Block the screen saver by moving the mouse to a customizable screen corner.?
  2. I installed Dont 'Sleep to solve the following problem, my data backup is done every day in the evening using Ashampoo Backup. Since this activity runs in the background, it has happened to me several times that I shut down the PC while data backup was in progress. This interrupted the data backup. With Don’t Sleep I can prevent the shutdown in time. Ashampoo Backup can shut down the PC independently after data backup has ended - a useful feature that I also use. Unfortunately, Don’t Sleep is now preventing this process. Even if all other apps are closed, the PC remains switched on with the message that the Don’t Sleep app prevents shutdown.?
  3. 2. Look for the ini file in the working directory (the directory from which Don't Sleep is launched), not in the directory where Don't Sleep is located. It will allow to launch several copies of Don't Sleep. For example, one may like to disable the screen saver by moving the mouse to the right top corner (provided by copy #1 that is launched at user logon). He/she also may need to periodically launch some program that requires disabling hibernation: this program may be launched via batch script that also launches copy #2 and kills it when the main program is finished.?
